On this Thanksgiving, let us not forget the wonderful episode on "WKRP in Cincinnati" in which the station concocted the idea of a "turkey drop" in which people from the station went up in a hot air balloon and dropped frozen turkeys.

Except Herb got it wrong, and dropped live turkeys, not knowing they couldn't fly.

Les Nessman, the newsman, reported live from the scene, "Oh, the horror, the horror. They are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!"

I was thinking of this TV show and episode this AM because it was reported on a news show that a Radio Station had dropped a turkey (frozen/dead) about 300 ft on a picture. I didnt hear who's picture it was because I had to leave for work.

Yes, that is my favorite TV moment of all time. When Mr Carlson said "as god is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly", I fell out of my chair laughing. WKRP was one of the funniest shows of all time. I was so surprised when it was cancelled at the height of it's ratings. If the networks would go back to more shows like that, they would stop the hemmorage of viewers.

The thing about Bailey was she exuded an innocence but at the same time her personality hinted that she would not be so naive when it counted (if you get my drift). She was the kind of girl you'd take home to meet your mother (when mom and dad were gone for the weekend).
